“Here’s to getting exactly what you want”, says the Starbucks sign in front of me. Really? A cocoa cappuccino hot or iced wasn’t exactly my idea of getting what I want. Yes, I have been spending lots of time in Starbucks, it is my job searching hub. No I can’t write about much else, my life is consumed by the pressing nature of finding a job. What I can’t help it, affordable coffee and free wi-fi are the two most essential elements for the unemployed.
So just like Starbucks says…here’s to getting exactly what you want. In an exasperated Google search, I found this comical list of “uncommon jobs”. Maybe I should just be a fortune cookie writer!
1. Odor Tester: just like it sounds, your job is test the odor from perfumes, deodorants and antiperspirant and more. You definitely need a nose for this job!
2. Hair Boiler: you got it! You boil animal hair until it curls for later use… I still don’t want to know what they use that hair for.
3. Waste Station/Water Treatment Worker: more dirty than weird but it makes the list!
4. Citrus Fruit Dyer: you guessed it! Sometimes those lemons just look too yellow – that’s where a dyer comes in handy. They make the fruit look more vibrant by dying it.
5. Crocodile Wrangler: all Steve Irwin jokes aside – this is a real career. You can learn how to become accustomed to handling dangerous, or not-so-dangerous animals in this exciting career.
6. Fortune Cookie Writer: your day will brighten up with this career! Just thought a computer cranked out your fortunes? Nope. That’s a writer’s job and maybe yours in the future.
7. Pet Detective: since Jim Carey took to the big screen you can bet there are real life Ace Venturas on the job! Take your passion for detectives and animals and turn them into a rewarding career.
8. Cheese Sprayer: do you have what it takes to coat various food items with cheese? Then, this job just might be for you.
9. IMAX Screen Cleaner: it sounds just like what you would be doing: cleaning the giant IMAX screen.
10. Chimney Sweeper: too old school? No way. Chimneys might not be used like they used to be, but that doesn’t mean this career has gone up in smoke!
